Vallformosa Classic Cava Brut is a fresh, accessible Cava made from Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada. This brut from the Classic line is all about fine bubbles, green apple, citrus, fresh herbs, and blossom, with a fruity finish and enough freshness to serve it both as an aperitif and with light dishes.
Vallformosa Classic Brut comes from Cava, the Spanish designation of origin for sparkling wine made using the traditional method.
Location / Origin: Vallformosa is strongly associated with Penedès, an important area for Cava in Catalonia. The grapes ripen here under plenty of sun, while the sparkling style requires freshness and aromatic balance.
Region: Cava is made using the traditional method, in which the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. This creates the mousse, the fine bubbles, and the fresh, sparkling structure.
Climate & Influences: Mediterranean conditions provide the grapes with ripe fruit, while the classic Cava grape varieties ensure vibrant acidity and a dry, refreshing finish.
This Cava is made in a fresh brut style, with an emphasis on fruit, fine mousse, and drinkability.
Fermentation: First, a still base wine is made from Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada. That base gives the wine its citrus, green apple, blossom, and herbal freshness.
Second bottle fermentation: The wine gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in the bottle. This creates a fine mousse with soft, persistent bubbles.
Brut style: As a brut, this Cava remains dry and refreshing, with enough fruitiness to be smooth and accessible to drink.
Alcohol percentage: With 11.5% alcohol, Vallformosa Classic Brut remains light and lively, ideal for aperitifs and social occasions.
The blend consists of 3 classic grape varieties for Cava.
Macabeo – Cava: Macabeo gives the wine white fruit, soft citrus, and a round, accessible base.
Xarel·lo – Cava: Xarel·lo provides structure, fresh tension, and a subtle herbal touch.
Parellada – Cava: Parellada adds elegance, floral notes, and extra lightness to the blend.
